I like keys for basic camera functions - one to start the camera and shutter release, and two for zooming
...or, touch the Camera icon... you likely don't want to take random pictures of the inside of your pocket...

If it had a better resolution.. like 1050x620, resisitiv screen and a keyboard. A big *** battery and running a debian based OS.. like Maemo or Ubuntu.
..Maybe.

On the other hand, an advantage of touch-controlled camera that I learned from one of N8 promotional videos is that it may allow for a steadier shot... still I am likelier to use the dedicated button.
So when is this thing coming out?

PPI has changed my whole obsession with wanting larger screened devices in my pocket.
We have had the Streak for a while in the UK and its just massive, I get this impression the more I look at it. Running an old version of Android.
But I can see its attraction as a tablet, I get the same benefit on my smaller tethered Archos 5 Android.

The superiority of text on the iPhone4 over the Streak is undoubted.
http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/06/d...-iphone-4.html
However text on the Streak is better than text on my iPhone 3GS.
The Streak screen is very good indeed and I don’t feel disadvantaged, nonetheless as soon as Dell releases Streak 2 with a Retina type display I shall get one.
